What do you like best about DaySmart Pet?

Customer service is terrific. They are all USA based and very knowledgeable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DaySmart Pet?

They are very slow to make changes to the software. Suggestions for improvements go nowhere. It is like they never asked an actual pet shop what works best. Sometimes we have to navigate 6-7 screens just to get some info while we have a customer on the phone. There has to be a more efficient way to retrieve basic info. I have volunteered my shop to be a beta location for the programmers to visit.

Another example is this survey. You don't even have my industry listed in the drop down menu. The software is for grooming/boarding/daycare facilities and all you list is Veterinary! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DaySmart Pet:

Do your homework and make sure the software will meet all your expectations. Don't rely on Daysmart to make changes to meet your expectations. Those changes may or may not take years to happen. Buy the fastest computer you can buy because you will need it; otherwise the software will be slow to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DaySmart Pet solving and how is that benefiting you?

Access to customer info and pet info. Reminders for appointments is the biggest benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DaySmart Pet?

This app is very easy to use. Setting up appointments is a breeze and also accessing the website is very convenient. I get appointment request quick and being able to accept or reject them before the client booking is a god send! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DaySmart Pet?

I haven't been able to double book for certain times in blocks and I'm not sure if it's actually the app or if it's the user! Haha I am still learning but I love this app for my clients! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DaySmart Pet:

I absolutely recommend this app! If you are a small dog groomer like me it's super easy and convenient. My clients never have any issues booking! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DaySmart Pet solving and how is that benefiting you?

Excessive bookings and people booking certain dogs in time slots that I don't have available. Like big dogs in a time slot I only have room for a small dog. I am able to better assist my clients and make sure they are receiving the best care I can provide! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DaySmart Pet?

I like how easy it is to use the software. It is easy for both backend when we schedule appointments, and also the front end for our customers online booking. I like that it is specific for pet grooming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DaySmart Pet?

I honestly do not have a lot of complaints. There are glitches sometimes but we are able to contact support and it is usually resolved quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DaySmart Pet:

This software has all features needed for grooming salons and is easy to use both in house and for your customers online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DaySmart Pet solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed an easy way to schedule appointments for our clients. With outher software, it did not have details that we needed for dogs. This software already has all the breeds programmed in and has all the fields needed to get accurate information to be prepared for their appointment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DaySmart Pet?

Texting, email marketing, online booking, photo profiles. Would love to have online new pet forms added with signature capture so we can go paperless! :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DaySmart Pet?

The new layout that is trying to be integrated. I liked the old one better because it is easier for us to see all of the vital information we need at a glance and works better when you have multiple groomers workng. The new layout puts blocks on top of each other which sucks when you have more than 1 dog coming in at the same time, which is the case almost daily for us. Also not great for multiple locations. Would like a way to keep the calendars for each location separate and be able to switch between the two so its not all on 1 screen. Also not able to set employee permissions for multiple employees without the system buffering endlessly or not saving the changes. Also erases old employees' appointments from calendar and payroll which is a nightmare if someone quits in between pay periods! Would like everything to stay the same in the calendar but without the old employee having access to the system anymore when they are no longer working! We also have an appointment request from someone who no longer works here that wasn't taken off before they quit, so now its just stuck there forever and we can't get rid of it. We should still be able to settle unresolved requests after the employee's account has been deactivated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DaySmart Pet solving and how is that benefiting you?

The text messaging and appointment reminders have been the biggest help for us, as well as being able to book and charge customers out from the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DaySmart Pet?

Ability to create a website to book online and merge everything. Plus able to check people out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DaySmart Pet?

The website is not really easy to create and make more organized. For example, the services might be listed as needed to charge online but on the website it shows everything separate. Also, the merchant system used to check people out that is offer by the company is not ideal and has a lot of connection issues. Really wish square could sync to it. Also issues connecting to Facebook as a button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DaySmart Pet solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keep everything organized without the paperwork is amazing. I love I can automatically send paperwork to new clients Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like being able to block off time slots so people can't book. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DaySmart Pet?

I don't like that the services require times to be shown online. I have people who are getting dog grooms and add things in like teeth brushing or nail trims, but it shows the add ons after the appointment slot which is confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DaySmart Pet:

I would recommend daysmart pet because I like the ability to let my employees have access and the ability for customers to book online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The easy scheduling and multiple log-in options I can check in a client no matter where I am because I can access it on so many devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DaySmart Pet?

Rescheduling I wish it would automatically rebook for a m entire year. Our clients are long term and we have lost abou 10 this last year because they weren't rescheduled because it only went out 4-6 mo baths automatically and we didn't realize until it was to late.

Recommendations to others considering DaySmart Pet:

It's great it can take time to learn and become fluent in all the features but they are very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps us keep better track of taxes and deductions and our calendar for days off is much more up to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DaySmart Pet?

Ease for booking private lessons, aesthetic Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DaySmart Pet?

Not compatible with google calendars, not useful for group lessons, schedule blocks are difficult, cannot edit recurring time blocks or lessons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DaySmart Pet:

Wait until this company has matured. It's not built for dog training businesses, which is how it was marketed to me. I do enjoy the aesthetic and I'm sad that after 3 months I've "outgrown" the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DaySmart Pet solving and how is that benefiting you?

I wanted to be able to schedule my lessons, which I can. Their website isn't great, but I'm hoping to maybe use booking features. Not much has changed with customers relating to Daysmart. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
